• The sound of touch operations and button operations may be recorded.

• CMOS image sensors of the type used in the camera generate a so-called “rolling

shutter” e󰀨ect that can cause distortion in pictures of moving objects. This distortion is

a phenomenon that occurs in pictures of fast-moving subjects or if the camera is moved

during shooting.

• If the size of the movie le being recorded exceeds 4 GB, the le will be split

automatically. (Depending on shooting conditions, movies under 4 GB in size may be split

into multiple les.)

• When recording movies, use an SD card that supports an SD speed class of 10 or higher.

• If the camera is used for extended periods, the temperature of the image pickup device

will rise and noise and colored fog may appear in images. Turn o󰀨 the camera for a short

time. Noise and colored fog may also appear in images recorded at high ISO sensitivity

settings. If the temperature rises further, the camera will turn o󰀨 automatically.

• When using a Four Thirds system lens, the AF will not operate while recording movies.

• The R button cannot be used to record movies in the following instances:

While shutter the button is pressed halfway; during bulb, time, composite, sequential

or time lapse photography; or when e-portrait, handheld starlight, or backlight HDR

is selected in SCN mode or keystone compensation, panorama, live time, multiple

exposure, or HDR is selected in Z mode

• Some settings, such as AF mode, can be set separately for movies and photographs.
